Stayed in the family suite which had a fridge, microwave and sink area and queen bed in one room and another separate bedroom. Clean and modern looking. Staff was super nice but not always on site. Right next to highway. RIGHT NEXT to highway. Noise of traffic is constant. If you can bring ear plugs, it’s nice place to stay.
